Jane Messer – Firer

Jane is one of a select few to have both shot and coached the ‘Big Five’ matches in which British shooters compete (the National, MacKinnon, Kolapore, Australia and Palma matches). A keen advocate of team shooting, Jane has toured widely, including to Australia, Barbados, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, Trinidad, the USA and Zimbabwe. This will be Jane’s fourth visit to New Zealand and the renowned Trentham ranges, of which she has fond memories -and she is of course very much looking forward to taking part in what will be her eighth Palma match.

Whilst team shooting is Jane’s favourite, she is also an accomplished individual shot having won a number of important individual competitions, including the Grand Aggregate and St George’s Vase at Bisley. Away from the ranges, Jane enjoys skiing, gardening- and walking her enthusiastic Labrador.
